Windows 10: 3D Builder Remove Superfluous "Open" Window

When I wish to open a file in Microsoft 3D Builder, I go through the burger menu. I click open and expect to be presented with some kind of File Explorer.


"Some kind of File Explorer" is how every other piece of sensible software in the known universe works.


Instead, I am presented with a bunch of icons of recently used files which you think I might want to open. Can we please remove this superfluous screen? I'd love to seen the piece of research which suggests that users have only 10 files on their computer which they use.


Can I just get directly to a file explorer window so I can browse to the file I want without having to Click "Open" to get a file browser? Take the stupid "Here's the last file you worked on window away. Maybe replace it with an alternative to "Open" titled "Open Recently Used"? A "backward" step like that would be an absolute top order improvement.


Same comment applies to all your software with this ridiculous affliction. I have notice Office is even moving towards this format. I have thousands of files on my PC and I know where they are. Why do you make it so difficult for me to access them?
